On a recent trip I bought a bottle of XO Cognac while I was away and had
drunk about half of it before the time came to go home. I realised I
wouldn't be allowed to take the remaining half bottle back with me on
the flight, but found a way around that problem. I saved a few of the
Actimel pro-biotic yogurt drinks we had for breakfast and filled six of
them with the remaining alcohol. They detected them at the security
checkpoint, but because each bottle was 100ml in size I was allowed to
take them all on board the aircraft.


You are a deeply sad person.


I know, but when you pay US$125 for a nice bottle of XO you really
don't want it confiscated by airport security.
